The Mexican Chicken Taco Flatbread is part of my flatbread experiments that I have been carrying out over the past few days. I must admit that I have been amusingly surprised at the outcome of the flat-breads. Absolutely light on the stomach, full of flavor, and great space for experimenting with a variety of ingredients.
